Hot toys

Price wars over the latest must-have toys are expected at toy and discount department stores.The
lowest prices should appear the week before Christmas.
Tip: Buy the popular toy when you see it, given that some stores match prices
within 14 days of the original purchase.

Video consoles, games

The absence of a major new console of late means the chance of lower prices on games and
systems.

Tip: Get a game from last year at a fraction of the cost of a 2013 title.

High-definition TVs

In the wake of Black Friday sales on off-brand televisions, bargains on higher-end models should
arrive closer to Christmas.
Tip: Remember that Best Buy, h.h. gregg, Sears and Walmart offer price- matching
guarantees on identical makes and models.

Kitchen items

Retailers such as JCPenney, Kohl’s, Macy’s and Williams-Sonoma offer deep discounts on
everything related to the kitchen.Early-bird and night-owl sales, rebates and free gift cards often
sweeten the deals.
